TOPIC: IMMIGRATION

Q: Where would you most like to immigrate to and why?
A: If you ask me, I will say if I have a chance to immigrate, I will choose London. London is the best city in my heart, I went two months ago. I think London is amazing because after learning art, I feel that the city is very meaningful to me. Except for the fact that the cost of living is too high, everything is perfect for me.
